Without flies to disturb them, the Qin family and the Huang family were naturally smooth and smooth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info They first went to Zhenjiang to rest, but they didn't stay long, they only stayed for less than two days, and seeing that the weather was good, they continued to take the boat to Changzhou.

Changzhou is a fairly large city on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The Qin and Huang families, except for Zhao Mo, had never been here, so they decided to play here for a few more days. In the first two days, Qin Bai took everyone to visit several places of interest, and then went to Tianning Temple to incense, ate vegetarian food, and on the third day, he turned to the most prosperous commercial street in the local area and began to buy, buy.

Qin Bai wants to go to see the local calligraphy and painting shops and cultural shops, and the ladies can go to buy the famous Changzhou comb grate, and then go to the most famous time-honored restaurant on the street to taste local delicacies, such as silver silk noodles, hemp cakes, etc., and eat crabs in season, everyone is full of praise.

Qin Hanzhen has gained a lot today. She already had a grate, and when Zhao Mo passed through the local area last year, she bought a lot of them and brought them back, and she got a lot. Zhao Mo was born in a noble family, had good taste, and the combs he selected were very elegant and exquisite. In Qin Hanzhen's opinion, if she picks again this year, she will not pick a better one, so she did not follow Niu's, Mrs. Huang Jincheng and Huang Qingfang to squeeze the grate shop together, but followed her grandfather Qin Bai and Zhao Mo to see antique calligraphy and paintings, and listened to Qin Bai talk about the origin of those antique calligraphy and paintings, learn how to distinguish the good from the bad, the authenticity, etc., and you can learn a lot of things. Antiques and other things are too expensive for her to afford, but when she left, she also picked out some Changzhou specialties of the green bamboo carved arm rest, paperweights and small interstitials of Jintan carved paper, and planned to take them back to decorate the room.

The family will move into the Xinhou Mansion after returning to Beijing, and I heard that she can have a whole yard, not just occupy a side room, and have a place to put her knick-knacks.

Qin Hanzhen was very satisfied with the things he had picked, and when he went to the restaurant to eat, he was still fiddling with joy. Seeing this, Zhao Mo smiled and said, "It turns out that my cousin likes these, and I knew that we would have bought a few more." ”

Qin Hanzhen said: "The more these things, the better, the key is to my liking." I just like these things. Cousin Zhao, you see, how fine the bamboo carving patterns of the landscape on this arm rest are! It is even more elaborate than the street scenes of houses we draw when we practice on weekdays. It's not a pen!" is a work of art that can be passed down to the world, but in modern times, I don't know what a high price it is. But now, for less than five taels of silver, she bought the arm rest, the paperweight, and the interstitial screen, which is really a bargain.

Even Qin Bai said with admiration: "Hanzhen has a good eye, these objects are indeed very exquisite, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is extremely superb. Even if it is produced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is just such a façade. It's our luck to be able to buy it in a shop on the street, and it's also a real luck. ”

Qin Hanzhen was affirmed by his grandfather, and he was even happier in his heart.

Niu didn't know how to appreciate these things made of bamboo, if they were replaced with gold and jade, or silk embroidery interstitials, she would know the benefits, and now she just said to Qin Hanzhen: "You and your grandfather have been out shopping for a long time, just bought these?" I don't know where these things are good, if you want to play with them, you can go with them." It's just that you should go with us, you are a girl's house, why don't you want to buy more fat powder jewelry? The comb here in Changzhou is very good, and I don't think it is worse than the bamboo in your hand. If you like things made of bamboo, I also bought a bamboo comb with luodian embedded in it, which is colorful and very beautiful, and I will send it to you in a moment. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "If grandmother likes it, she will stay, I don't have anything." There are a lot of combs at home, all of which are high-quality products from Changzhou. How many combs can I use alone?"

Mrs. Huang Jincheng said with a smile: "Miss Qin, that's not what you said. Changzhou's combing grates are exquisite, but who really combs their hair? They are generally used as jewelry and inserted on the head. You didn't see it just now, the daughter-in-law who greeted the female customer in the grate shop had good hair, all of them were curled, only a horn comb was inserted, and a few pearls and jade were embedded in the comb, and it didn't see how gorgeous it was, but it looked generous and elegant, so that people couldn't take their eyes off it. I was coaxed by the daughter-in-law to buy several horn combs like hers, and I was anxious to go back early, and comb my hair like that, and clean up as generously and beautifully as her. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "Then let's go back after dinner?" I'm young, I'm just afraid that I don't have enough hair to insert a comb. But Aunt Fang's hair is so thick and dense and long, and it must look good when she is all rolled up and a beautiful comb is inserted!"

She has already become familiar with Huang Qingfang in the past few days, and she has spoken a lot closer.

Hearing her say this, Huang Qingfang just pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't mean to refuse. Obviously, she was also interested in trying out the new grate.

About the ladies were anxious to go back to the boat, and after dinner they left, and did not go any further. Only Qin Bai didn't want to go back and sit still, so he took Zhao Mo to continue to visit his antique calligraphy and painting shop. Zhao Mo was actually not very interested in these things, but Qin Bai taught him very patiently, and he could only listen patiently. Nothing else, but a few famous ancient paintings gave him a lot of inspiration. He began to think that he could make new changes by making a few drafts of the street scenes.

By the time Qin Bai and Zhao Mo returned to the boat, Qin Hanzhen, Huang Qingfang, and Mrs. Huang Jincheng had already changed several hairstyles and tried on all the newly bought grates and jewelry.

Qin Hanzhen commanded the girl to comb Huang Qingfang with a somewhat simplified peony bun, and personally selected a silver pearl-inlaid comb hairpin for her, making Huang Qingfang more dignified and beautiful, and there was no need to add other jewelry, it was already stunning. Mrs. Huang Jincheng was amazed, and Niu also smiled: "I really didn't know before, it turns out that our sister Sang is so good at dressing up!"

Huang Qingfang had a rare toothy smile, got up and pulled Qin Hanzhen to sit down in front of the dresser: "I will also dress you up, just to thank you." "I really did it myself, and combed a double hairstyle for Qin Hanzhen, but it was the style in the palace, which made her look a little older, not so childish, like a delicate and beautiful little girl. Seeing this, Huang Qingfang's heart moved, pursed her lips and smiled, and she also found lip grease and gave Qin Hanzhen a lip cream.

Qin Hanzhen blinked, looking back and forth in the mirror, and his heart was quite beautiful. She hadn't worn lipstick in more than a year, and she still had a strange idea. It's a pity that this ancient lipstick doesn't have the kind of male color she likes. After thinking about it, she simply put on some fat powder on herself and put on light makeup. After finishing the makeup, I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn't help laughing again.

Mrs. Huang Jincheng said with a smile: "This makeup looks good! The little girl's house, there is no need to wear too heavy makeup, such a light one, but it looks good and natural, as if she has never put on makeup at all." Catch up with Miss Qin, teach me too, I think your hand is much stronger than our Sister Fang. Niu also smiled and said: "It's really good-looking, Sister Sang is also older now, so she should dress up." ”

Qin Hanzhen and Huang Qingfang looked at each other and smiled, and the former was a little embarrassed. She's still a child, so where can she wear makeup? It's just a matter of playing now, and she's going to have to wipe it off later.

Huang Qingfang began to choose ornaments for Qin Hanzhen to decorate his hair, and he was a little difficult, and he didn't know which comb to choose. The double mustache is supposed to be paired with a pair of hairpins, but today they did not buy a pair of combs. Perhaps, at Qin Hanzhen's age, a pair of small bead flowers is enough. Huang Qingfang remembered that she had a pair of beaded flowers, which were suitable for a little girl like Qin Hanzhen, so she turned around and ordered the red-clothed girl who called Ying'er to take her makeup box.

Qin Hanzhen smiled at Huang Qingfang in the mirror, took a small silver comb from the mirror, and inserted it into the right hair. Although it is not a decoration of the lining, there are also benefits of not lining it. This kind of dress may not be neat and dignified, but with a homely casualness, it is even more playful.

Huang Qingfang was stunned and said with a smile: "It's better this way." Hanzhen really has a good eye, and his eyesight for picking jewelry is much stronger than mine. ”

Qin Hanzhen grinned at her, and felt a little proud in his heart, but he saw Zhao Mo standing at the door of the cabin from the mirror, not knowing what he was doing, so he turned around and asked him with a smile: "Why is Cousin Zhao standing there? You came back with your grandfather? What did you gain this afternoon?"

Zhao Mo came back to his senses, and was still a little absent-minded: "Uncle and grandfather took a fancy to a painting, and said that although it was not painted by a famous artist, it was also a masterpiece of the ancients, and it was rare that the layout was excellent, let us learn more." As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Qin Hanzhen again.

Today's Qin Hanzhen is a little more beautiful than usual. It's so rare for her to be like this, so naturally she has to take a few more looks. Otherwise, with her temper that she doesn't like to be greased and powdered, if she wants to see her like this again, I don't know how long it will take.

Qin Hanzhen didn't know that Zhao Mo knew his mind so clearly, he only thought about the painting he said, pulled up his sleeve and was about to go out: "Then I have to take a good look at what kind of painting is good." Grandfather is in the front cabin, right? Let's go look for him!"

Zhao Mo was stunned and dragged away by her, and when he arrived in front of Qin Bai, he almost forgot to salute, but fortunately, Qin Hanzhen gave his grandfather a salute first and reminded him, and he hurriedly bowed his head to salute his uncle and grandfather.

Qin Bai's mind was all on the newly bought painting, and he was admiring it with relish, and he didn't notice Zhao Mo's abnormality. Seeing his granddaughter coming, he beckoned Qin Hanzhen: "Come and see, this is also a street scene, the layout is many times smarter than the manuscript you drawn, the characters are lifelike, the paintings are also fine, even the folds on the clothes can be seen clearly, and the demeanor of the characters is even more detailed......"

Qin Hanzhen leaned over: "Ah, it's really a good drawing, isn't this really a master's handiwork......?" Grandfather, can you fix the damage on this painting?"

Qin Bai considered this problem when he bought the painting: "I'll give it a try when I return to Qinzhuang, but I'm afraid the weather is not very suitable, and the tools are not complete." I'm afraid I'll have to wait until I pass through Suzhou to order someone to buy it. But if you can find a good craftsman in Suzhou, you don't have to do it myself......"

The ancestors and grandchildren discussed how to repair this ancient painting, and discussed the benefits of this painting, but Zhao Mo on the side had already lost his mind, smelling the fragrance of osmanthus oil stained on Qin Hanzhen's hair close at hand, and couldn't hear anything.
